Movies about food…screened with actual food!

Travel Channel host and documentary filmmaker George Motz, along with co-creator Harry Hawk, established the Food Film Festival in Brooklyn in 2007 as a way to showcase documentaries, features and short films involving food. This year’s New York City event runs Oct. 23-27 with a long list of screenings (with benefits). Not simply a showcase of food on screen, many of the events feature a tasting component as well.
